Aurasma

Hello everyone!

I am currently obsessed with the iPad app called Aurasma!  I recently found it on Twitter and have implemented it into my classroom and I am in love!

This app is designed offers individuals the opportunity to create an augmented reality!  As educators, we can have our students create their own Auras. 

I recently taught a lesson on emotions.  The students needed to write a simple sentence about an emotion they have felt before.  After writing the sentence, the students designed an image to match their story. 

I then videotaped their story and used their picture as the signal for the Aura.  Once put together and created, anytime we use the app Aurasma and look up the image, the video of the student's story immediately begins to play!  What a great way to create an interactive bulletin board.

Erin Klein, on Teachers Pay Teachers, has developed a handout for you to reference on creating your own Auras for your classroom!  I recommend you download this handout and start immediately on creating your own augmented reality! 

Watch for images and videos to come of examples of our interactive bulletin board!

Ciao!
